3.5.1.1798 onwards renames sync to rm-sync

[Eeems]

The following will need to be updated to handle both names:

toltec/package/xochitl/package

Lines 68 to 75 in 9c1aa92

	# sync.service interferes with launchers
	# we use manual-sync.service instead
	if [[ "x$(systemctl is-enabled sync.service)" != "xmasked" ]]; then
	systemctl mask sync.service
	fi
	if ! is-active manual-sync.service; then
	systemctl enable --now manual-sync.service
	fi

toltec/package/xochitl/manual-sync.service

Line 16 in 9c1aa92

ExecStart=/usr/bin/sync --service

It looks like this may be the cause of the problem I had installing toltec. My tablet is running

Yes that would be why. Also, toltec doesn't support 3.x yet, so please don't attempt to install it on 3.x without knowing what you are doing. Since rm2fb doesn't support 3.5 you will soft brick your device if you manage to get it installed.

[kubycsolutions]

Thanks. Is there any guesstimated 3.x support timeframe? The ReMarkable looks like it would be a fine device for storing pages of music on, and while PDFs are an adequate solution for now a bit of hacking around could improve it for that use.

We do not have an estimated time yet. We are waiting on ddvk-hacks to support it, and then we can start on the rest of the required work.

Unfortunately, I believe that DDVK is no longer working on the project, at least that's the impression I have. It's really a shame, as I've accidentally installed version 3.x and can't downgrade. Without Iago, I'm struggling in my studies. I've currently switched to my Surface with OneNote, but I miss my ReMarkable.
